The Bible is More Violent than Video Games

In light of my series on the violence of God in the Bible, in which I said that the Bible is the most violent religious text in the world, someone sent this picture to me. It made me think… Hmmm, why do I want my children to read the Bible again?

    The main reason I teach my girls about LOVE over violence. Even my own children are teaching me something about how our worship of mighty violence is NOT the way, truth or life.

    God takes responsibility for killing people in the old testament, that doesn’t necessarily mean he directly did so. Indirect cosmic events, while God’s ultimate design, can hardly be considered murder or killing in a direct sense.

      Right. I agree, and have been arguing something similar in my current series on the violence of God in the Bible.

    Hehe 😛 In spite of the irony, I would still rather my children read the Bible than play video games of any nature. 😛

      Yeah. The Bible often points us to something better – life in Jesus – whereas most video games do not.

    The bible doesn’t sugar coat humanity that’s for sure

      No, it doesn’t. Which is one evidence for its accuracy.

    For some reason this brought to my mind Louis Ginzberg’s ‘The Legends of the Jews,’ where it says that at the end of all things the righteous get to “view the mortal combat between Leviathan and Behemoth, as a reward for having denied themselves the pleasures of the circus and its gladiatorial contests.”

    When I read that I thought, ‘Well, if watching the violence is bad now, why would it suddenly become good at the end of the world?’

    Not that I don’t play violent video games…

    and read the Bible…

      Interesting. So at the end of time we get to watch “REAL” violence. That description sounds like a movie – Alien vs. Predator or something.
